Florida Faces Dire New Threat In Hurricane Ian’s Aftermath

Now the excuses start

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Saturday defended the state’s early preparations for Hurricane Ian as questions remain over whether hard-hit areas received enough advance warning to evacuate.

DeSantis said local officials in Lee County — where Ian made landfall Wednesday as a Category 4 hurricane — acted appropriately when they issued evacuation orders on Tuesday, after the storm’s forecasted path had shifted from the eastern Panhandle to Tampa Bay and eventually further south to the Fort Myers area.

It was not just the track prediction that was wrong, it was also the size and strength predictions that were wrong.

Desantis must start pointing this out.
